RE:”...– from a California judge who ruled he was extending his order prohibiting public release of certain video evidence by the Center for Medical Progress.
The order came from Judge William H. Orrick, who was nominated to his post by President Obama and has strong financial links to him, having been both a major donor and bundler for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Orrick raised at least $200,000 in that effort and donated $30,800 to committees supporting Obama, according to Public Citizen, the Federalist reported. “

This is no longer America, it is a totalitarian state.

Who voted for cloture on him in GOP??

I fear violence from elite liberals... Can we make rulings based on my guilt?

This judge was not filibustered. Or if he was it was dropped or cloture was agreed to by voice vote or something, there no recorded cloture vote. He was confirmed 56-41 in 2013.

Collins, Flake, Murkowski voted aye.

Jeff Flake also voted to advance the nomination out of committee. Flake lives up to his name sometimes, generally he has a very good voting record but we see his name here alongside 2 of the worst Republicans. He also shares McCain’s fetish for border hoppers, so he’s quite reviled on FR.
